A Clinical Study of a Zoster Vaccine in Healthy Adults >= 40 Years
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a herpesvirus that causes two distinct clinical syndromes.Primary infection is manifested as varicella (chickenpox), whereas reactivation of latent VZV results in a localized eruption known as herpes zoster. Most people 40 years of age or older had evidence of previous VZV infection. This study plans to have 522 adults above 40 years old involoved in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of an investigational live attenuated zoster vaccine. The investigational vaccine is produced by Shanghai Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd. The safety and immunogenicity of the zoster vaccine is evaluated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Reactogenicity in the group of live attenuated zoster vaccine [0 days-6 months after the vaccination]
The incidence rate of subjects with solicited AE(s) with 95% confidence interval The incidence rate of subjects with solicited SAE(s) with 95% confidence interval
- VZV specific serum conversion rate [30 days after the vaccination]
VZV specific serum conversion is defined as: if serum antibody titer before immunization was less than 1: 8, and antibody titer after immunization was ≥ 1: 8. Or the antibody titer before immunization was≥1:8, and the antibody titer after immunization≥4-fold increase.
- VZV specific serum geometric mean titre [30 days after the vaccination]
For each group serum titre with FAMA test
- VZV specific serum geometric mean fold increase [30 days after the vaccination]
For each group serum titre with FAMA test
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Reactogenicity in the group of live attenuated varicella vaccine [0 days-6 months after the vaccination]
The incidence rate of subjects with solicited AE(s) with 95% confidence interval The incidence rate of subjects with solicited SAE(s) with 95% confidence interval
- Reactogenicity in the group of placebo [0 days-6 months after the vaccination]
The incidence rate of subjects with solicited AE(s) with 95% confidence interval The incidence rate of subjects with solicited SAE(s) with 95% confidence interval
- The immunogenicity persistence of antibody titer [90 days-360 days after vaccination]
The antibody titer measured by FAMA postvaccination in day 90,180,360
